The 5-10, 180-pound two-way
standout from Lovett School in Atlanta has a family tie to Penn State, his
mother attended PSU, and is considering the Nittany Lions along with Georgia
Tech, Duke and possibly Wisconsin.

Haley played running back and
defensive back in high school, and the one-time Vanderbilt commit is ranked as
a 3-star recruit with solid 4.44 speed.

He projects as a cornerback
on a college field. The Nittany Lions already have two corner recruits in the
2014 class in Troy Vincent and Daquan Worley.

Haley, ranked as one of the
top 40 cornerbacks in the country, has outstanding change of direction - a huge upside for a corner.

His footwork and hip
flexibility allow him to change his momentum and direction on a dime and on
film it's very obvious and effortless.

Haley's football instincts
are pretty good, it was hard to find many plays where he was lost or was just
roaming around without much purpose. He's not afraid of initiating contact, but
his tackling needs work.

His size right now is an
issue, but his quick reaction and ability to recover from a mistake or misread
with speed and purpose will make his 5-10 height seem less of a liability.

The value of cornerbacks can't
be underestimated in the college game today. Franklin inherits two already
committed to Penn State in this 2014 class. But of the six or seven offers he
initially extended to Vanderbilt commits, two of them went to corners.
